My sister in christ: he was from the Russian Empire. He used the name Nikolai Gogol himself. He wrote about the Russian Empire. His novels are about Russian politics. He was not some Ukrainian folklorist.
Weirdest Ukraine propaganda yet.

Hohol, isn’t that a slur for Ukrainians?
Why they name em that?
It’s more a transliteration issue: his surname is Гоголь (both in Russian and Ukrainian), but it is transliterated from Russian as Gogol and from Ukrainian as Hohol. The slur is хохол, and it is usually transliterated as khokhol.
Oh okey…
